FOUND DEAD.
A Sad Academia at the wheeling Creek Coal
Mines, In Bridgeport.

A Sad Accidental the Wheeling Creek Coal
Mines, In Bridgeport.
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the
bank boss at the mines of the Wheeling
Creek coal works, about three or four
miles west of Bridgeport, noticed that the
air in the bank was becoming very foul and
as no change for the better was noticed
after a time, he made his way to the loca-
ton of the furnace to see what was the
matter. Before quite arriving at the spot
he came suddenly upon the body of the
furnace tender, Amos RittRer. The body
was lying near a wheelbarrow in the
vicinity of the furnace, and life had evil
IDENTIFY been extinct for some little time.
What the cause of death was, was not as
certained, but it was evidently due to
natural causes, probably some trouble OF
the heart. Rittner was a married maj
and leaves a family.

Frederick Warde.

Next Friday night Mr.. Fred. Warde and
his excellent company will be at the Opera
House, in his really great play of "Galba
the Gladiator" This is entirely different
from the Gladiator" as presented here by
Robert Downing, and a play in which Mr..
Warde has won many nice notices from
the press Of the country. That Mr.. Wardu
has a strong company, the following Incl
dent shows:
Miss Eugene Blair, who remains with
him as leading lady this season, received
from a San Francisco manager, during the
recent visit of the Warde company in Cal
itornia, an offer of q contract to star" for
five years, to commence the present month,
but her engagement previously entered
into with the Ward management prevented
consideration Of the proposition. Miss
Blair's impersoDation Of the Chris
tian Maiden 'Neodamis" in "Galba''
is said by the dramatic critic OF
the New York Herald, TO be one of the
most exquisite pieces of natural acting
ever Witnessed.

A SHUT OUT
WHEELING PLAYS AN BRRORLBSS GAhb
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
And Gives the Mansfield Boys Nothing But fIn'
Large Goose Eggs Assisted By Dunn's Great
Work-Some Heavy Singing.

Wheeling shut Mansfield out yesterday
afternoon on the home grounds in a well
played contest, in which the home team
did some beautiful plain and fancy slug
pine. Dunn was in the box for Wheeling
and pitched cne of his best games, the
Mansfield boys being completely 1t his
mercy. He was supported in fine style by
Westlake behind the bat, and the fielding
was errorless. A record of eight men
struck out and only five base hits is as
good as any pitcher wants, and Dunn made
it yesterday. There were several brilliant
plays during the game, Green covered
right in fine style for the visitors, and his
catch of Crogan's fly which had every in
dication OF being a home run over right
field fence, was a dandy, and he received
the plaudits of the audience. He pulled
the ball down almost off the fence and
made a beautiful throw to first, doubling
a man up. StentZel's capture of a base
hit to right and his throw to first was APP
plauded. Myers back running catch OF a
hy wa also a daisy.
Miller pitched for the visitors and was
hit hard, only the good support OF the
felders keeping the score on the Wheeling
side from being larger. He wasexcellent-
ly supported behind the bat by Yak.
Wheeling began run getting in the first
inning. Crogan tapped a two-bagger over
right field fence, took third on q wild pitch.
Dunn put a liner down to short and was
fielded out at first. Nichol hit safe to cen
ire and Crogan scored. Nichol stole second
and took third on a wild throw by Miller
TO Delehanty, and got home on Nicholson's
home run to left. White hit safe and got
second, but was retired on Stencils fly
out. In their half the visitors BANKED.
Both sides scored goose eggs in the second
inning.
In the third inning Wheeling again got
onto the ball and scored three men. Gro
gan flied ont to centre. Dunn went in and
pounded out one OF his beautiful home
runs over the left-centre trees. Nichol re-
tired at first. Nicholson hit safe to centre,
stole second and went over the plate on
Whites hit to centre. White scored on
Stentzel's hit to pitcher, Stentzel taking
first on Miller's wild throw to first, but the
side was retired by Myers hit to short.
Mansfield went out in one, two, three or
der.
After that both scored large, round
goose-eggs until the ninth, when Stentzel
hammered a beautiful three bagger TO left
and scored on Westlake's sacrifice. That
ended the scoring and a fine game. Fol-
lowing is the score in detail:

Concerning the "InteIIigencer."

1t is certainly creditable for any news
paper to accumulate as many local occur
rences as may be obtained by the reporters.
But it is far from excusable to treat the
reading public with Misrepresentation Ito
say the least of facts such as was published
in to-day's Intelligence. Such a caricatnre
no subscriber will approve of, ana
l do not think it any policy
for the responsible parsonage of a
paper to credit all the productions

that / have handled q knife, consequently
the public will understand that the sense
less and uninteresting blunder in to-day's
EateHigencer is no advertisement of my es-
adjustment.
